A large amount of data has accumulated in the monitoring room, and each data must be manually sorted out and read through to try to find patterns from it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Normally, computers are relied upon to do these tasks, but because computers are no longer reliable, manual work is necessary. As for why the computer cannot complete the task, and must rely on the logic and inspiration of the person himself, even if the man in the chemical suit does not explain, Dr. Ender can already understand it. In this hospital, people are faced with something whose logic is completely different from the known logical model, and what people have to do is not to substitute the data into the model for calculation, but to find out the original rough but correct model. It's like later generations of scientists were able to exercise formulas, and someone had to discover and summarize them before they could appear.

In the face of an unknown "virus", researchers have too much groundbreaking work to do, and compared to this groundbreaking, computers are too rigid and more likely to fall into a logical loop than the human brain. Excluding the "color center" that was created by chance, all the computers in the hospital have had their programs crash in logical calculations, and even the physical hardware has been burned down. No matter how much you optimize the calculations, you can't reduce the chance of damage, and, in a deeper sense, if you don't have the initial formula, you can't start anything, and if you inject the wrong formula into the computer, then all the subsequent calculations will only be wrong.

Therefore, until now, the manual review, summary, derivation and understanding of data is still the most important link that cannot be omitted.

"It's not as good as it used to be, if you apply for the color center, you will definitely be able to pass it." Dr. Ender said.

"No, I'm worried about the color center." The man's face in the chemical suit was gloomy: "I never believed in that thing, after all, it is also a doomsday syndrome patient, in essence, it is just the result of being infected by a 'virus'. The results it obtains can be regarded as the result of the interference of the 'virus', and it is completely untrustworthy. ”

Dr. Ender doesn't care about this, because it's one of the more dominant ideas in the hospital: everything that is infected with a "virus" will carry more or less "virus" information, and because of that, it can't be used as a basis. The color system hub is in many ways as powerful as a science fiction organism computer, but when it is also a "problem product" in its own right, does the conclusion that it relies on it really work against "viruses"? Even so, the ability of the color system center is still undoubted, and without the support of the color center, the research work in the monitoring room will be extremely slow and bloated.

Dr. Ander was well aware of how slow the man-led research was to proceed, which was probably why he needed to find more helpers, after all, the research methods here were too primitive in order to avoid the effects of the "virus" as much as possible. But from the perspective of "putting aside the impact of the virus", almost all patients with doomsday syndrome can actually be said to be untrustworthy, and now they have been infected, even so, the man in the chemical suit insists on allowing himself to participate in this research work, which is enough to prove that the other party is no longer available, not to mention, in fact, the design of this research process has completely deviated from the original goal.

"There's no way, I can only believe in the power of the special medicine." The man in the hazmat suit seemed to be able to read Dr. Ender's thoughts, and the enthusiasm that had been diffusing from his eyes faded slightly, "If your condition is suppressed, then treat it as if you will not be affected by the 'virus' for the time being." In fact, there are more companions here than what you see in front of you, but most of them are unable to reach the bottom line of participating in this work because of the infection, and they can only leave in the end. ”

"Where did the people who left go?" Dr. Ender asked calmly, knowing in his heart what was going to happen to them.

"Who knows? Maybe it's like a wild dog, in some unknown corner...... Actually, if you just stay in an unknown corner, it's already good, and based on past cases, patients will go crazy after a while, right? The man in the chemical suit spread his hands and tried to mock him with an indifferent look, but his tone was a little embarrassed, "The next one may be you, and the next one may be me, if we can't solve the 'virus', we will all end up in the end." So, Dr. Ender, we need your genius. We're at a dead end, and I hate to admit it, but if you're a genius like you, you'll probably be inspired—" he said, pausing, and sighing, "The most terrible thing in the world is that there is no choice at all. ”

Dr. Ender stared at the other for a moment, then closed his eyes for a moment, and no one could tell what was going on in his heart from his expression. After a while, he walked over to some of the data reports that had been put together.

“…… Tell me what you guys think, can you really draw any conclusions from looking at those three girls so passively? As he spoke, he picked up the report and looked at it.

"The reason for not actively stimulating these girls is to avoid too much fluctuation in the surveillance data and make it more difficult to understand. For us, the 'virus' is completely unknown and has been active to some extent all the time, with no signs of stagnation. We try to derive a part of the common theory from the relatively smooth data curve, and then find the special theory based on this part of the common theory. The man in the chemical suit pulled out a chair and sat down, picked up a copy of the data, and explained while reviewing it: "The data is already very confusing, and if you stimulate the observation subject, the data will only become more confusing." For us, there should be something less chaotic in the chaotic data obtained in the calm state of the target, with the logic that we currently have to judge, examine and understand, after all, the target is still human until now, only manifested as a mental problem. ”

"So, what you're trying to find is something that is as relevant to people as possible, and as close as possible to what we have understood about people so far?" Dr. Ender understands that this idea is very humane, first of all, people are responsible for inducting things related to people, then, other things outside of this are naturally irrelevant to people - on the other hand, these things that have nothing to do with people are logically closer to the clues of the "virus". And it is true that this object of observation cannot be other patients with doomsday syndrome, let alone the color center. Because the outward manifestations of other patients with doomsday syndrome are too strong, which shows the intensity of their internal changes, they are even more unsuitable for observation than these three "calm" girls, as if "nothing has changed after that". The color center is that there are fewer "human" components and too many "non-human" components, which makes it more difficult to find and summarize the "human" factors.

"However, any individual trial is extremely complex, and without a specific goal, recording all the data in general will only inflate the data to the point where it cannot be solved by humans." "It took generations of engineering to map the human genome alone, but there's more to the human being than just the genes," says Dr. Ender. ”

"Yes, people are too complicated, not to mention that the target also carries non-human information." The man in the chemical suit nodded, acknowledging this, "So, for this experiment to really have a start, we must find a more specific and at least logically feasible goal, we can't find this goal at first, we can only rely on luck, just like doing an experiment to find new particles, we can only keep bombarding them with particle accelerators in anticipation of observing the creation of new particles." But, suddenly, one day, I realized something. ”

"What?" Dr. Ender's attention was a little more focused, and he knew full well that after all this foreshadowing, the next words of the man in the chemical suit would not be untargeted.

"I noticed that the three girls were doing one thing over and over again." "Although their actions have been recorded for a long time, no one has thought more deeply about the meaning of this act - as if everyone has subconsciously ignored it," said the man in chemical protection suits. Think again, Dr. Ender, what the hell are these three girls doing after their personality breakdown? ”

Dr. Ander was lost in thought, although in the past, his attention had been focused on "Takakawa" and "Color Center", but as the head of the hospital's research, he had never missed any information about a particular test individual. In a sense, the identities and states of Sakiya, Hachisei, and Marceau are even more special among the special, and of course they will not be left behind.

"Playing card games?" Dr. Ender said.

“…… So, I think the blind spot is here, why do you think they're playing? "Isn't it strange that a patient who has lost his personality and can't rearrange his new personality would exhibit that repetitive behavior toward a card?" Think about it, what kind of mechanism, what kind of motivation do they have to repeat this behavior when they have no personality, no thinking, no way to think, and can only maintain physical functions in general? You always use the word 'play', but 'play' has to have a certain subjective consciousness, and do they still have subjective consciousness? ”

"You're trying to say that a mechanism that comes from their flesh instincts is at work that manifests itself in their behavior?" Dr. Ander immediately understood what the hazmat man was thinking.

"Whether it is just a mechanism of carnal instinct is difficult to draw conclusions about for the time being. However, as such a special type of doomsday syndrome, even unconscious behavior is enough to connect with the 'virus'. It can even be said that the more unconscious the action, the more the 'virus' affects them. The man's tone in the hazmat suit grew a little excited, "Also, there's one thing that has been overlooked in the report. ”

"What's the matter?" Dr. Ander quickened his voice to ask, realizing that this man might well have caught something that the others had been ignoring.

"All the cards were made by them, and the patterns on them were completely different." The man in the chemical suit said: "The record of this part is very rough, I think it should be Dr. Nguyen Lê who is in charge, but she only records the results of the analysis of these patterns, not the results of the analysis of this behavior." Now it is impossible to say whether she was intentional or unintentional, and there is no point in pursuing this question, but we must have a clear understanding: human behavior is definitely not meaningless, but must have a deeper essence. ”

"It's rare that you noticed that." Dr. Ander had a sudden feeling that, as the man in the hazmat suit had said, that this part of the sign had not been noticed at all before, or had been slightly noticed, but had been distracted by other, more intense and obvious manifestations that seemed to be more easily conclusive.

The three girls were too calm, and although their particularity was always there, it was difficult for one to feel better suited than the other subjects to produce research results. From this point of view, in fact, all the researchers in the hospital are a bit of a "picky eater", or rather, some are eager for quick success. However, from the perspective of normal research, if there are so many test subjects, why do they have to focus on these three girls? The combination of various factors has made researchers subconsciously ignore these three girls.

"Tell me more about your findings." Dr. Ender took a deep breath and said.

The man in the hazmat suit pondered for a moment and explained, "First of all, it must be recognized that any action of these three special test subjects cannot be said to be all driven by the 'virus', but the 'virus' factor is at least one part of the driving force. Based on this understanding, analyzing their repetitive behavior with cards can be seen as feedback on the more superficial viral information. Although they have lost their personality and are unable to maintain normal human thinking, it does not mean that there is no conscious activity at all, but only a fragmented and extremely weakened consciousness activity, which promotes the production and use of cards——"

"Is your research still focused on analyzing their behavior?" Dr. Ander was slightly dissatisfied, "It's not the right thing to do to deduce consciousness from behavior, don't you understand?" Obviously, there are already more suitable research subjects. ”

"No, actually, after realizing this, the main research target has shifted to the cards themselves." The hazmat man smiled disapprerovingly, he knew why Dr. Ander was dissatisfied, and it was because of this emotion that it proved that Doctor Ander already had an idea of his own—it was important.

"Very well, this is the right direction." Dr. Ender nodded, "Don't study the behavior itself, but study the results of its behavior, this is not the same as ordinary research, what we do has always been ordinary research." Finding a more simple and clear goal is the right thing to do. ”

"yes, why do they make cards? Why are those patterns drawn on the cards? Before these questions are asked, we must understand what kind of logic and meaning those patterns contain, and there is no doubt that they must reflect some secrets related to the 'virus'. The man in the chemical suit agreed.
